Unable to install update

I have tried to install the update on my 17" Macbook pro but all I get is that there were errors and the update was not installed. No other information. I then tried via the package that was moved to the trash, same deal, a vague error message with no indication as to how to fault find the errors. I wonder wheteher others will see this problem as well.

I wonder

if this is it till Leopard? They still could pump out another update or so. If they did, what are they going to call it? 10.4.11? Matters not, as I'm very thankful for all I get, as I doubt I will be going forward to Leopard for quite some time.

What to call it

I'd bet they call it 10.4.11 the numbering convention doesn't just change on the fly. I'm sure they have versioning controlled in their Software Development Plans. How does that work for major developers, do they go with J-STD-016, or a 1498 IEEE standard for development? I'm sure someone here knows.

Silly debate on numbering

I found the debate on the OS X numbering system very silly. Anyone familiar with a large research library (most colleges, for example!!!) use the Library of Congress cataloguing system. You have numbers like GN 45.678AS. The dot is a separation marker, not a decimal point. They could very well also use GN 45/678AS or GN 45|678AS. This debate makes people sound like as if they have never used a library before.
